The German star-artist Georg Baselitz has come under fire (again) for making outrageously unabashed sexist remarks in an interview with the Guardian.

The notoriously outspoken artist was talking about his new exhibition at the pop-up White Cube gallery at the Glyndebourne opera festival when the conversation turned to the subject of female artists.

“The market doesn’t lie,” he explained to the Guardian’s Kate Connolly. “Even though the painting classes in art academies are more than 90% made up by women, it’s a fact that very few of them succeed. It’s nothing to do with education, or chances, or male gallery owners. It’s to do with something else and it’s not my job to answer why it’s so.”

But Baselitz didn’t stop there. “It doesn’t just apply to painting, either, but also music,” he offered.

When Connolly pressed him to elaborate, he added “If women are ambitious enough to succeed, they can do so, thank you very much. But up until now, they have failed to prove that they want to. Normally, women sell themselves well, but not as painters.”

If Baselitz’s opinion on female artists sounds familiar it’s because he made nearly identical comments in an interview with German magazine Der Spiegelin 2013.

At the time he insisted, “Women don’t paint very well. It’s a fact.” He backed up his claim by saying that women don’t pass “the market test” or “the value test.”
